TEXITcoin Update: Holidays Over—Let’s GROW in 2026

WEBVTT

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.000
pretty quick and straightforward, and what I want to talk about tonight.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:51.000
is, uh, like, kind of the 3-minute version of Texacoin. I don''t know if I can… get there completely in 3 minutes. I usually have quite a bit to say about it. Uh, but my friend asked me to make the official definitive 3-minute video introducing.

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Texacoin telling my story my way. And so I''ve been, uh, I''ve been working on a script. You think that I''d know exactly what to say.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:04.000
And I''d have it down perfect, but uh… but I gotta get it right, and I gotta get it right because.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.000
What we''re coming up on now is, like, the, uh, the growth stage, the exciting part.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.000
Uh, if you''re a farmer and you''re familiar with, you know, the.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:19.000
sleep, creep, leap idea, that works perfectly for us, especially as we start.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:27.000
2026, you know, in 2024, January 26, I mined the first block of Texacoin in my spare bedroom.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:33.000
on the farm in McKinney, Texas. I bet that farm on TexitCoin, and I''ve.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:41.000
I''ve been very happy thus far with that investment. But it''s slow the first year. It takes time for.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:49.000
roots to start to grow out. You can''t even see him, you can''t see the progress, and that''s what 2024 really felt like for us. 2024 was.

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.000
a good year, we made progress, but it wasn''t until November.

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:59.000
2024, and I''ll remember the day for the rest of my life. Took a picture of myself as I was there in Thailand.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:04.000
Uh, getting some surgery done for myself, getting some life-saving surgery done for my daughter.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.000
Um, when we hit profitability. And that was November 2024.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:16.000
And profitability for us was really great because it gave us an opportunity to start 2025.

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:23.000
With a little bit of cash flow. And that cash, of course, became our budget to do the things that we talked about all this time, but never really had the money to do.

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:39.000
Uh, to be able to actually implement. We started, um… being able to do marketing and promotion like never before. We had money for liquidity to start ramping up more and more exchanges. At the end of 2024, we went live on BitMart, which was really a huge step forward for.

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.000
us and our DEX trade market that we had started with.

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:53.000
So, 2025 was all about the creep. It was all about just slowly getting this thing to come out of obscurity, introduce ourselves to the world.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.000
start to take some trips, start to make some friends, and you saw a lot of that a moment ago.

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:06.000
on the little welcome video that we put together, which kind of brings tears to my eyes. You know, when I started this, I told people, we''re doing it for 3 reasons. We''re doing it to make money.

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.000
We can''t exist without a profit, and the more money we have, the better we can take care of ourselves.

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.000
and our families, and our friends, and our communities.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:20.000
We''re doing it to have a great time. You know, life''s tough. There''s.

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:29.000
a lot of beauty and abundance in the world. We want to find it, we want to enjoy it. And we''re here to make friends as well, because living in an isolated.

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:39.000
world is very cold, it''s very lonely, and so, uh, we''ve done all of that now over these last two years, and so I think that 2026 is the year.

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:49.000
that we really leap. You know, people have asked me a lot, hey man, what''s with the path to 16? What''s with the price? What''s with February 2026? Are we still there? And I go, look.

00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:57.000
We all understand at this point that our projected acceleration down this path is all about our continued growth.

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:11.000
And so we don''t get there without doing the work and without making the investment of time and effort to build out our community, to build out our cash flow, to build out our marketing budget, our liquidity reserves, and so all these things really go hand in hand.

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:21.000
But… When we leap, when it happens, when the lid pops off of this thing, and it can happen at any moment for any reason.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:30.000
We know right now that this story of ours has been talked about and shared all over the world. It takes one time getting lucky.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.000
for that lid to pop, and that leap to happen. And the price to go.

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:45.000
And never come back. Uh, at least that''s the hope. You know, we do the work so that we can get lucky. It''s like my fortune cookie said all those years ago. Luck is what happens when hard work.

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:51.000
meets opportunity, and I can assure you that nobody works harder than I do.

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.000
And I''ve got a lot of great people on our team now that work just as hard as I do for our mutual success.

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:03.000
And so, 2026 is the year of the leap. We blast off this year. I can feel it.

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:18.000
Um, but I see it. I work it every day. I eat and breathe and sleep TexitCoin, it''s my… it''s my passion. It''s… The manifestation of my years of work and effort in the realm of honest money. And so, let me get into my little.

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.000
official pitch here. I''m gonna… I''m gonna look down at my screen, uh, from time to time.

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:31.000
And that way I can make sure I get it right for my script, and possibly this video could get saved in all of my.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.000
hoodie beauty. And, uh, and shared with the world.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:41.000
Um, but… I had a fire lit in my heart back in 2007.

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:53.000
by Texas Congressman Ron Paul, and we''ve… been able to become friends over the years, and it''s a great relationship. Think the world of him. It was very unique to find somebody in government.

00:05:53.000 --> 00:06:04.000
that actually adhered to the principles that were established in our nation''s constitution. That was a rare thing, and of course, like so many other people, I saw that, I admired it, and I followed it.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:13.000
But he lit up a fire in my heart for honest money. I went down the rabbit hole, I did as much research as I could in 2007, trying to figure out what was wrong in the world.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:19.000
I watched every documentary from one side of the political spectrum to the other, from.

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:32.000
who killed the electric car and inconvenient truth to, you know, the America Freedom Fascism, all of it. I tried to figure out what was wrong. And at the bottom of every one of those rabbit holes, it was always the same thing. It was always about money.

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.000
Quibona, who benefits? So I try to figure out a little bit about money.

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:49.000
And that''s when I learned that the Federal Reserve isn''t quite as federal as they''d lead us to believe, and that back in 1913, a group of the world''s, or a little bit before that, a group of the world''s most powerful men got together in secret.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.000
and crafted up this thing called the Federal Reserve Act, which became law in 1913.

00:06:53.000 --> 00:07:01.000
And so, the following year, after I learned about Ron Paul and the importance of honest money, I started the American Open Currency Standard.

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:09.000
And I began helping small towns all across the country get back to barter with gold and silver and copper coins.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:17.000
And is the leading expert on alternative and complementary currencies, I really admire the work that I did. I''m very proud of it, it was successful, I was able to raise a family.

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:31.000
travel the country and meet so many great people. I really like what I did, but I also reflect on how I now realize that I was really going in the wrong direction from my little horse and buggy with the.

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:37.000
gold and silver blinders on, believing that, you know, money had to be physical and tangible to be valuable.

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:42.000
I really hope to establish this old-fashioned monetary system to save the world.

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:53.000
But now, it''s extremely clear to me that unless the lights go out, the future is going to be digital. That took me really a long time to understand.

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.000
and to make peace with. And as hard as it may be to believe.

00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:02.000
things get better over time, and an upward spiraling motion.

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:08.000
Think about it, right? Would you rather be the richest person in the world 100 years ago?

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.000
Or would you rather be alive today with all of the modern amenities and.

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:20.000
conveniences that we have, you know, the whole world is accessible to you right in the palm of your hand for most things. You''re hungry, you want to eat.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:25.000
tap, tap, tap, and next thing you know, 30 minutes later, food is at your door.

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:31.000
We live today in the digital reality, and most things improve.

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:41.000
prove over time. They get better. Some days it doesn''t always feel like that, but if you think about it, as far as our health and our wellness and the abundance that we have, things have gotten way better over the time.

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:47.000
The same thing, though, cannot be said for our money.

00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:56.000
In fact, the U.S. Dollar has lost about 99% of its purchasing power since it came out back in 1913.

00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:06.000
Today, we have no idea how many dollars there are, how many they make every day, who gets them, or how they get from the Federal Reserve to normal people.

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:15.000
like you and me. Well, today we have better money, we have options. While I was bartering community currencies from my little horse and buggy.

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:23.000
I completely missed out on the Bitcoin freight train that went flying on by, and I hardly even noticed it when it happened.

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:29.000
I spent the better part of a dozen years racking my brain and trying to figure out.

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:36.000
What I missed. You see, I''m stamping coins for a living. I even made the original Bitcoin coin.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:46.000
That coin that''s got the B in the middle of it. Back when Bitcoin was just barely $5 a coin, you probably have a great story, too, about how you could have gotten in on crypto.

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:53.000
at an earlier, less expensive time. I figured out what I missed. It took me a very long time.

00:09:53.000 --> 00:10:03.000
But I have always thought of good money, honest money, as having 3 really important particular traits.

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.000
I''ve always believed honest money like gold and silver.

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:18.000
Where a good medium of exchange. A good unit of account and a good store of value. And anything that was going to be respected as good, honest money was going to have those 3 properties.

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:24.000
And crypto really nailed it on two of three of those properties. Think about it.

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:33.000
You can send crypto from here to the other side of the world and back. It only takes seconds, it costs almost nothing.

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:40.000
And you can do that without having to go through a bank, or through a government, or something like UPS or FedEx to get it there.

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:46.000
That''s an amazing medium of exchange. Crypto, I would have you believe, is a perfect.

00:10:46.000 --> 00:11:02.000
medium of exchange. You can take Bitcoin, and you can shatter it into a thousand little tiny pieces, almost instantly, almost for free. When I''m minting those coins, if I wanted to take a big 1,000-ounce bar of silver, one of those big COMEX bars of silver, which.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:10.000
apparently is in some trouble these days. If I took that big 1,000-ounce bar of silver and I wanted to shatter it down into a million one-ounce rounds.

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:22.000
It''s a day''s work. If I try to put one of those coins down on the table in front of you, could you look at one of those silver coins and definitively tell me?

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.000
that the coin is real, that it''s not fake silver or fake gold.

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:35.000
If I went to buy a Lambo right now, and I tried to pay the dealership with fake crypto, it would never get there. They''d never receive it.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:43.000
It''s impossible to counterfeit cryptocurrency. It is a. perfect unit of account.

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:49.000
But as a store of value, that''s the place where I got stuck for a very long time.

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:54.000
You know, when you''re dealing with gold and silver, when you''re thinking about the money and value spectrum.

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:59.000
Gold and silver are on one side, and crypto and digital currencies are all the way on the other.

00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:03.000
You know, you can hold your gold, you can put it in your safe and lock it up.

00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:08.000
I thought for a very long time that anything that was valuable was also going to be tangible.

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:13.000
It has to hold its value over an extremely long period of time, and we know how well gold and silver have done.

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:24.000
You know, if you have an ounce of gold, it''s worth just as much today as it was thousands of years ago. You know the old story, if you had an ounce of gold back in ancient Rome, it would buy you a nice toga.

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:34.000
a belt and a pair of sandals. And that same ounce of gold today, thousands of years later, buys you a very nice suit, a pair of shoes, and a belt. No problem.

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:41.000
In fact, what''s it at today? $4,300 or so? Probably buy you a couple belts and a couple pairs of shoes and a couple very nice suits today.

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.000
But that''s the way it works. Technology, over time, makes things easier to produce and less expensive.

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:51.000
But when the value of our money is going down, it''s hard to see it that way.

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:58.000
But if I try to think about cryptocurrency. as a store of value, that''s where I really got lost.

00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:02.000
It took me a very long time to understand what I was missing.

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:11.000
You see, store of value doesn''t mean. physical. It doesn''t mean tangible. It doesn''t mean intrinsically valuable.

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:17.000
What store value means is that I can take it and I can spend it later for something that''s valuable.

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:24.000
by itself, gold and silver aren''t particularly valuable. I can''t eat a gold coin, I can''t stick an ounce of silver in my gas tank for fuel.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:40.000
If I want to spend my gold and silver, which are clearly valuable, everyone accepts that, I''d have to go down first to a pawn shop or a coin shop, and I''d have to monetize it. I''d have to sell it. I''d have to turn it back into currency so that I could trade that for groceries or for gasoline.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:46.000
While I was there on my horse and buggy with the blinders on, the gold and silver blinders, and that.

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:52.000
crypto freight train went flying by. I completely missed that today.

00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:59.000
You can now spend cryptocurrency, alternative currency, at more than 54 million merchants all over the globe.

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:05.000
How? They were able to link their technology in with Visa.

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:12.000
MasterCard. And now you can get a crypto-backed. debit card to tap to pay anywhere Visa or MasterCard is accepted.

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:19.000
I missed it. you know, I looked at crypto as being extremely volatile, and I confused volatility.

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:31.000
for value. But what I really need to understand, and it took me a long time to understand this, is that store of value means that it''s able to be exchanged for something that''s valuable.

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.000
Gold and silver are valuable, and when I can spend my crypto.

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.000
to get gas and groceries, it also becomes valuable.

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:46.000
Now, we''ve had about 17, 18 years to see that crypto started at this, you know, non-existent price, and it''s now all the way up.

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:54.000
As a multi-trillion dollar industry. will extend the test of time over thousands of years? Today, we don''t know. We can''t know.

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.000
But if there''s anything that I''d like you to believe.

00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:05.000
I''d like you to believe that there''s a financial technology at the foundation of cryptocurrency that''s extremely important.

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.000
And if you believe that the future is digital.

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:13.000
Then I would like to also have you believe that the future of money is digital as well.

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:20.000
In fact, cryptocurrency is likely to be the type of money that we use as we go into this digital future.

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:32.000
I figured it out, the writing was on the wall, I said it''s gonna be really tough for me to get people to go back to using these gold and silver and copper coins. It''s fun, it''s… commemorative, and it''s nostalgic.

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:41.000
But as far as being able to save the world from the horse and buggy, it''s just not going to work. I sold my factory, and I went all in on crypto.

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.000
I looked at the landscape of cryptos out there, and I said, which one?

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:56.000
Bitcoin, the OG, the big daddy. Should I get into Ethereum, the one that all these NFTs and digital collectibles and smart contracts are built on, or something new like Cardano or Solana?

00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:01.000
I did my research. And imagine my surprise to find out that today.

00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:09.000
almost all cryptocurrencies are now controlled by the same banks, the same hedge funds, financial institutions, and foreign nations.

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:14.000
that Bitcoin originally set out to disrupt. The industry''s gone now full circle.

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:20.000
I looked at it, and I said, this doesn''t make any sense. I don''t think anybody knows this.

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:25.000
And I decided to start TexitCoin to give us a blank slate.

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.000
to take everything that we know and love about cryptocurrency and give us a second chance.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:36.000
We have everything that we need right here in America, right here specifically in Texas.

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:43.000
to give ourselves a redo, another chance at crypto. I missed it, you might have missed it as well.

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:50.000
And so I took all of my knowledge, all of my passion for honest money, community currencies, bartering.

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:55.000
And I swapped out my horse and buggy, and I built us a cryptocurrency rocket ship.

00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:09.000
And Texacoin, like I said, started in 2024, January 2026, or 26, 2024, mined the first block, and it''s been a whirlwind of an adventure ever since then. We''ve had fun, we''ve made new friends.

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:14.000
We''ve built a community, and we''ve shared our message of peace and prosperity with people all over the world.

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:20.000
And the adventure is now just beginning. It''s the very early stages of our project.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:25.000
We''ve built an incredible set of tools from the ground up for our original Layer 1.

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:31.000
currency. So, what''s different between Texacoin and everything else that''s out there?

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:42.000
We''ve exclusively built our proof-of-work mine here. in Texas, using the same technology, the same hardware as all the other guys use, same stuff.

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.000
just made here in Texas, where we control it.

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:51.000
Where we don''t have to worry about foreign nations taking it, changing it. We''re not upgrading it.

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:59.000
So that it can''t be a currency for people to use in the marketplace. That''s what makes Texacoin different. We''re building a mine.

00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:04.000
right here in Texas, and we''re inviting our friends and family and everybody else who wants to help us.

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:09.000
have a positive impact on the world, join us through mining, or through trading or through spending.

00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:19.000
Couple different ways to get involved in Texacoin. It''s really easy. If you like what we''re talking about, if you believe that the future is digital, and that cryptocurrency is likely to be the future of money.

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:25.000
And that Texacoin might just be the best out there in the landscape of cryptocurrencies.

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.000
pick up a handful of TXC on the open market. You might be glad that you did.

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:34.000
Think about it like going back in time and picking up a handful of Bitcoin back when it was 2, 3, 4 bucks.

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:51.000
You''d be pretty happy with that decision today. You can find us right now on major exchanges like BitMart, MEXI, and Dex-Trade. You can find us on DeFi exchanges through our wrapped TXE, WTXC is available on Uniswap.

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:57.000
Or, you can join us and help crowdsource what we expect to become the largest.

00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:01.000
privately owned mine in the world right here in Texas.

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:05.000
It costs about a thousand bucks to get in. It''s a one-time fee.

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:14.000
And it pays out Texacoin daily to your wallet. No middlemen, no manager, just Texacoin every day at about 6 o''clock Texas time.

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.000
And what happens is, when you put your money in, we grow the mine.

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:27.000
We use some of that money to market and promote our coin. Maybe you''ve seen billboards up across the country, maybe you''ve seen wrapped cars out on the streets, maybe you''ve seen airport advertisements.

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:32.000
Uh, maybe you''ve heard us on the radio. Our goal is to share our story and invite everyone.

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.000
around the world to join us on the Texacoin rocket ship.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.000
And we also pay out commissions to the affiliates that are helping us.

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:50.000
grow and share this story with people. all over the world. You can get involved either way. Both of those opportunities help us move our mission forward.

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.000
But we''re here for one reason, and it''s for honest money.

00:19:53.000 --> 00:20:00.000
it''s been an important thing in my life since 2007 when I first discovered what I believe is wrong in the world. Fake money.

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:11.000
And today, the message, the story is exactly as the same as it was in 2008 when I started the American Open Currency Standard. The only difference today is I swapped out the gold and silver horse and buggy.

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:17.000
with a digital currency Texit coin rocket ship. And there''s enough room on the rocket for everybody.

00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:25.000
If you like what we''re talking about, if you want to get more involved, talk to the person that asked you to join us on tonight''s call.

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:32.000
Or go to techsitcoin.org and figure out there how you can either pick up a handful of TXT on the open market.

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:37.000
Uh, or if you''d like to join us as a miner, you can go to mintxc.com.

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:43.000
Very important, remember to never put in more money than you''re comfortable placing at risk.

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:54.000
crypto, like we said, is incredibly volatile. The price is up and down. It could be down 90%, or it could go up 10,000X any day of the week, maybe both on the same day.

00:20:54.000 --> 00:21:01.000
If you''ve got a strong stomach to take a journey with us and help establish an honest monetary system.

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:08.000
For people all over Texas. the United States and the world, then join us at text at coin.org and learn more.

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:17.000
I''m Bobby Gray, I''m the founder of Texacoin. I''m wishing you and your families a very wonderful New Year. 2025 was great for us.

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:30.000
And I''m fully expecting 2026. to be exponentially better. Thanks so much for joining, and have a wonderful night.
